The hot hot summer is coming, it can be felt already. Nothing to do again global warming(excepted travel green, bike to the job, think environmental friendly). If you ‘ll find in a good summer day the climate unbearable, then Anchorage in Alaska is the right place for you.

Anchorage, Alaska is located slightly farther to the north than Oslo, Helsinki and Saint Petersburg. It is surrounded by mountains(Chugach Mountains) and enjoys a subarctic climate.

The city is unbelievable young, its build started in 1914 as the end of Alaska railway. Buildings from the 50’s are already historic.

I was very surprised in Anchorage about the length of the day, due to its nordic latitude. Also surprising for the tourists and new residents are the short daytime in winter.

If you are in Thailand, after the capital Bangkok, you can also visit Chiang Mai. If you are really interested to find out more about Chiang Mai, you couldn’t be better.

Chiang Mai is the most significant and largest city in northern Thailand. It lies 700 km north from Bangkok, in the highest mountains of the country, on the Ping River.

Supposing you are an expat wishing to live in Thailand, tell me sincerely what could be your choice between Bangkok(20 millions inhabitants, polution, high prices) and Chiang Mai(170000 inhabitants, mountains, clean air, low prices) ? You find many expats in Chiang Mai, and you can find also many former inhabitants of Bangkok.

I went in Barcelona, Mexico, Tanzania. I was tired, so tired, and sick of so many people gathered together for no reason. Someone recommended me Banff in the Canadian Rockies, and it was really the perfect choice. Really, now I am much better and prepared for new trips and adventures.

If you want to discover more about Banff, and the perfect relaxation to get there, then you should read this post and visit Banff.

I am sure you have heard about Banff. It is located in the Canada Alberta provincion, 90 km away from Calgary International Airport and on the Canada Hyghway.  It is surrounded by the  Rocky Mountains.

Banff location

The town of Banff is very peacefull, with its 6000 inhabitants. It is mere a village, but a nice one! Therefore is recommended for relaxation, but also for many kind of outdoor activities, such skiing, hiking and climbing at all levels.

If you need or want to know the necessary things about Thailand, then you really should read this article!

Thailand is not very big with its 513 000 sqkm, only rank 50 worlwide. The same size of France and the state of California, and a little smaller than U.S. state of Texas. I visited Thailand in March, and I was very enthusiastic. Here are the basics.

It is located in south east Asia, and the tourism in Thailand has been booming since decades. It attracts much more tourists than its neighbours due to the geographic variety, low prices and good hotels.

The exotic Thailand was long time associated with sex tourism, which is not fair, because it is not the country’s main attractions. It has mountains, plains, beaches, islands(e.g. the Krabi islands, with its Phi Phi Don Island).

West Edmonton mall is the World’s largest entertainment and shopping center. Situated at the junction of 87th Avenue and 170th Street, the mall covers 48 city blocks and has parking for over 20,000 cars. It’s easy to see why West Edmonton Mall is Alberta’s number one tourist attraction.

Within the mall complex, visitors can shop in over 800 stores, many exclusive to West Edmonton Mall.
Hungry? No problem. Visit one of the many eating establishments and take your choice of ethnic cuisine from Cajun on bourbon street to sushi or Italian and dozens of others in the 100 plus restaurants. After your meal, see a movie. You’re sure to find something to please at one of the 26 movie theatres. For movie watching at it’s finest, visit the IMAX 3-D theatre. It’s like really being in the middle of the action.

Do not think now about disasters, it is embarrassing. But you must be prepared also for that case!(have a last will, what to be done with your remainings, possibilities to be identified). Sorry for remember this.

So, forget the disaster, and focus on emergencies! You still have good chances, and you will succeed for sure. These things happened to many other people, tourists and travelers as you are!

I could find following embarrassing situations;

1. Your flight delays. Take it easy, the delay may not be so long. Usually, the flight companies put to your disposal some food and drinks, and even rooms!

2.Once arrived to the destination airport, you observe your luggage damaged or lost. It is bad, and keep in mind it can occur. Take your money, credit cards and personal documents with you, do not leave them in the luggage. Let the flight company know about the situation, in writing. Usually, they will bring the luggage to you in 1 or two days. If the luggage is damaged, you must insist for reimbursement!

If you want to plan a safari, here you are. If you want to find out new exciting things about Tanzania, then you are in the right place here.

Tanzania is a huge country, world’s 31st big country. It is twice big as the U.S. state of California. Once a british colony, it gained its independence in the 60’s and Junius Nyerere was the most important political personality, and the first president. Tanzania was first called The united republic of Tanganyka and Zanzibar, and after a while was named Tanzania.

Main cities are Dar es Salam(the former capital) and Dodoma(the new capital). Tanzania has many touristic offers for you: beaches; the interesting Island of Zanzibar; Mount Kilimanjaro; National parks Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro.

80 % of the population lives based on agriculture. The roads are not very good, but they drive mad; the policemen are dangerous(very violent, they beat and kill people sometimes) and corrupt.National languages are swahili and english.

If you heard about canyoning, and want to know more, then you are very good here. Read further!

I recommended you a trip in Mallorca, and it was already canyoning. Introduction, to say.

But what it is canyoning after all? I would define it so: reaching the bottom of a canyon and travelling in it(supposing you should know already what is a canyon). Canyoning, also known as canyonering in the U.S., combines many other sports as walking, trekking, climbing, abseiling, rafting, swimming(but descendings,also abseiling, are usually asociated with canyoning). You must be in the shape and in the mood to make canyoning. Nevertheless, fun, aestethics and beutiful landscapes count more than stretching.

Canyoning can be very simple or extremely difficult, having fans in every age segment. There is special equipment needed.
